What to expect

Explore Takayama's history and culture. During this guided tour, you'll view temples built by a medieval warlord on a hill in the eastern side of town.

The first stop will be at Gifu Prefecture's Daiou-ji Temple. You'll study about the afterlife realm in Buddhism, as well as the history of Takayama. You'll then proceed to the Sogenji Temple, an operating monastery. Furthermore, you'll also have the opportunity to see the first Japanese samurai family temple. Your next stop will be Tenshoji Temple, which is famous for the legend of a Buddhist priest and an octopus who protected Kishiwada. Following, you'll visit the Hokke-ji Shrine, a former nunnery temple. It's only a short walk to Soyuji Temple, where Tesshu Yamaoka's parents, one of the last Samurais, are buried.
